December 26, 2023 - A migrant caravan marches through Mexico to the American border chanting slogans. The migrants are looking for a better life in the rich country, fleeing their homes to escape poverty and violence largely caused by decades of US intervention across Latin America. [video]

What do you mean by Nabokov’s handwriting having a Russian accent? Is he writing in a style of handwriting that was unique to Russia at the time?
Nabokov used an informal style of Russian cursive to write in English. Here is a picture of entries in his travel journal, where he wrote in both languages—you can see the characteristics that carry over from Cyrillic to Latin.

That Japan chose Brazil of all places to be THE go-to destination to immigrate to in the 20th century is so wild to me.
Like, the only cultural crossover we had was that we both eat rice with everything.
Also, this is my favourite "Move to Brazil" Japanese propaganda poster of all time:
Tumblr media
I love how the woman's pointing to Brazil like the writing on the highlighted country isn't enough for people to figure out which country they should be moving to.

It's also not a coincidence that homeopathy has exploded in popularity in the US especially, where a few hundred dollars in "natural treatments" is so much more accessible to the average person than the thousands you can rack up in a single doctor's visit.
I'm around $3000 in medical debt right now because of one ER visit that ended with me basically getting pat on the back and told I was fine. The medical situation in the US is dire and these homeopathy companies are absolutely taking advantage of that.

Imagining first-gen Latine/a/o! Reader x Eddie ft the rest of the Spicy Six bc I can
They move to Hawkins after the great earthquake, the town is still shaken up, but coming back together, their family moves for job opportunities popping up left and right.
Reader is out of place in Hawkins, the nearest Latin market or store is miles away, and they usually get their goods from a family friend a few towns away.
Reader gets teased at Hawkins High for their body hair and how dark it is/ how much they have, only for Eddie Munson to stand up for them, making fun of the jocks for being bothered by something like body hair.
Reader tutors Eddie; he’s not risking flunking again. 
Eddie invites reader to sit at his table with Hellfire Club, knowing reader usually eats lunch in the library or outside. Reader denies in fear of being made fun of for their leftovers, different from everyone’s lunch. 
Eddie still pushes to get closer to reader, consistently bothering them in their shared classes and always trying to make them laugh, eventually successful. 
Reader befriends Eddie’s friends, meeting the rest of the gang and Hellfire Club.
If reader has another native language, Eddie is infatuated with it and how they speak it. He constantly begs to hear it and blushes at reader's accent.
Reader bashfully invites Eddie to a family function. When he sees the food is unfamiliar to him, he gets excited and asks the reader to explain the dishes. 
At the party, you get him to dance with you due to coaxing from family and lots of teasing, and Eddie is a sucker for any excuse to be near you.
During the summer, reader meets Argyle during his visit to Hawkins with Jonathan and gets excited to meet another Latino.
Reader and Argyle bond over family experiences and cultural similarities 
Eddie is so happy to see reader begin to feel at home. 
Reader first falls head over heels for Eddie when he punches a man at The Hideout for drunkenly being xenophobic at the bar, complaining about immigrants in Hawkins. 
Once you begin dating, Eddie starts taking tutoring lessons to learn your family’s native language to better communicate with them. 
Your older family members tear up at the gesture, immediately doting over him and stuffing him with food and treats, backhanded complimenting him about his hair while also trying to manage it. 
Steve asks to learn your native language from your older family, and Eddie wants to impress the ladies with his language skills. Still, he can’t fix his accent to save his life. 
Robin laughs at Steve because she can speak your family’s language, with slight imperfections, but they are genuinely impressed. 
Your family gives all your friends embarrassing nicknames: Robin is “blond,” Steve is “flirt,” Eddie is “big hair” or “rocker,” Nancy is “skinny,” Jonathan is “blonde boy,” and Argyle is “hippie boy.”
Argyle’s visits to Hawkins often include visiting your home to fill up on comfort food and get doted on by the women in your family. 
Eddie has deemed himself an unofficial translator after a while to help your family with any difficulties.
On a special occasion, before graduating from school, your family asks Jonathan to take photos of you in some traditional clothing they’ve had for you saved for a special occasion. 
Eddie is in absolute awe at how amazing you look when he sees the photos, begging for a copy for himself. 
Eddie is so talkative, but when you explain your family’s culture and traditions to him, he shuts up and listens, staring at you with those big brown doe eyes. 
Your family teases you about him, jokingly asking you to prepare for marriage and grandkids.
Eddie sets out to learn how to make foods from your family so he can impress you.
Just! Ahhhh! This is so self-indulgent, but I love it so much. Also, I need Argyle to be my bestie; thank you. Also this is retribution for how this fandom treated my goofy boy Argyle.

Starting to think people are just like genuinely unaware that the majority of the German diaspora in Latin America predates Nazism by decades. Nazis fled to these countries because of the German-speaking communities there, not the other way around. Like I get that it’s just jokes but there’s seemingly an underlying association of any Latin American with a German-sounding name and a light complexion with being the child or grandchild of a war criminal and I think we should all take a step back and appreciate how incredibly dumb this is

i hate the way people will say the most out of pocket nonsense about Latinos in the US and then act surprised when people say they’ve got some racism issues. “oh if it weren’t for the fact that people in the USA hate everyone with ancestry from Latin America, lock Latino children in cages even under democratic presidents, and regularly hop on tv to call all Latinos evil rapists and murderers, they’d all be considered white” yeah no SHIT if literally every aspect of how Latinos in the US are racialized was different, they would be racially categorized in a different way, that is a very intelligent thing to say about race relations and doesn’t at all exacerbate issues thanks you are so wise and educated and learned
#i followed someone on here that did this too. like ‘i can’t be racist against latinos bc a lot of them are white’ firstly if u start calling#italians dirty immigrants who have too many kids someone is going to rightly call u a bigot it doesn’t *matter* the race of the person if#you are purposefully engaging in bigotry against that person bc of their ethnicity! and SECONDLY#like…a lot of asians are light skinned a lot of indigenous people are white a lot of arabs look white etc etc#every group has a lot of variance bc people are varied. just bc a large swatch of arabs ‘look white’ doesn’t mean they are treated that way#it is not different with latinos. you are zeroing in on this specific group to justify your ‘i don’t hate latinos i just think they should#live with Their People and not with My People’ racism bc you think hating another minority will gain you privilege with white supremacy.#they are trying to coup several countries right now bc this country views latin america as it’s fucking war games playground do not talk to#me about privilege that latinos apparently have when my aunt was frantically telling students to keep their parents from work bc there was#a fucjing ice raid going on in the city!!!!!!!! fuck you genuinely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#rani makes text posts no one will read#also the way people will pretend like latinos are the *only* voting block of poc that vote conservative. EVERY SINGLE VOTING BLOCK DOES THIS#TO SOME EXTENT. YES EVEN YOURS SHUT THE FUCK UP SHUT UP YOU MORON#COME AND ACTUALLY INTERACT WITH THE BORICUAS AND MEXICANOS AND CUBANOS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD BEFORE SPOUTING OFF ABOUT THEIR WHITE PRIVILEGE#L O O K AT THE WAY THE COPS TREAT US THE GOVERNMENT TREATS US OUR NEIGHBORS *LIKE YOU* TREAT US#THEN YOU CAN RUN YOUR MOUTH
